  • NAYC Cortt Chavis – One God Apostolic

    The story is that Dad originally wrote One God Apostolic on the way to a 1972 youth convention, because he had been given a 15 min time slot to speak and he wasn’t sure what he was going to say to fill all that time. Here are the same lyrics being sung 37 years later at the 2009 National Youth Convention … Guess it still works to fill in those small gaps 🙂

    Songs About You

    words and music by: Lance Appleton


    In the house of my pilgrimage

    Your statutes have been my songs

    I think about them and I sing about them

    and they give me the strength to carry on

    Cause the Word is You, and the Word will be true

    When everything else is gone

    In the house of my pilgrimage

    Your statutes have been My songs … My songs … My songs

    Songs about You … and the things You do

    Who You are and what You gave to me

    About the time You take to say the things You say

    and the way You say those things … the way You say those things

    Because the Word is You, and the Word will be true

    When everything else is gone

    Yes, the Word is You, and the Word will be true

    When everything else is gone
